Albiol ready for ´absolute best´ from France

Les Bleus were beaten 1-0 by Japan in an international friendly on Friday but the centre-back does not believe the defeat will affect the Gallic nation’s morale, and has little doubt they will be on top of their game against La Roja.

Spain, meanwhile, head into the clash full of confidence after a 4-0 defeat of Belarus in Group I.

Despite their contrasting fortunes, Albiol is tipping a tough clash in Madrid.
